“To compel the earnest student to dig out many profound truths…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 4th February 2014 “Speaking to those who know and believe that HPB was all the time in communication with the Masters in their retreats somewhere on the globe, I can say that a serious series of consultations was held among them as to what should go into “The Secret Doctrine,” and that it was plainly said that the book was to … Continue reading “To compel the earnest student to dig out many profound truths…”

“The first law of the Sacred Science…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Thursday 26th September 2013 “Once Theosophy and its principles are known, it will be demonstrated that our philosophy is not only a “close relative of modern science,” but its forbear, though greatly transcending it in logic; and that its “metaphysics” is vaster, more beautiful and more powerful than any emanating from a dogmatic cult. It is the metaphysics of Nature in her … Continue reading “The first law of the Sacred Science…”

“Such an avalanche of crude impurities and fables…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 24th September 2013 “Is the language of the Old Testament more pure or moral than the books of the Brahmans? Or any fables of the heathen world more blasphemous and ridiculous than Jehovah’s interview with Moses (Exodus xxxiii. 23)? Are any of the Pagan gods made to appear more fiendish than the same Jehovah in a score of passages? If the … Continue reading “Such an avalanche of crude impurities and fables…”

“All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Tuesday 17th September 2013 “There is one error which is commonly made, than which there can be no greater error in the views of an occultist. A division is made between what you call animate and inanimate objects, as if there could be such a thing as a perfectly inanimate object on earth! “In reality, even that which you call a dead … Continue reading “All in Nature is an aspect of the One Element…”

“The Root from which proceeds all manifestation…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Saturday 14th September 2013 “Parabrahm (the One Reality, the Absolute) is the field of Absolute Consciousness, i.e., that Essence which is out of all relation to conditioned existence, and of which conscious existence is a conditioned symbol. But once that we pass in thought from this (to us) Absolute Negation, duality supervenes in the contrast of Spirit (or consciousness) and Matter, Subject … Continue reading “The Root from which proceeds all manifestation…”

“The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Monday 2nd September 2013 “The Chaldean Kabbalah, moreover, the Book of Numbers, agrees perfectly with the eastern arrangement, and disagrees with the present orthodox Kabbalah in its diagrams. … Now, look here: I had a rabbi who had the real Book of Numbers – and there is another; I have only seen two in my life, and I don’t think there exist … Continue reading “The Kabbalah was entirely lost in the thirteenth century…”

“The apes were produced by man himself…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 1st September 2013 “The burning question of the anthropoid apes as related to man is settled by the Masters of Wisdom, who say that instead of those being our progenitors they were produced by man himself.

“Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 31st July 2013 “Like the Universe itself, Science is ever becoming, and can never say, “I am that I am.” On the other hand, Occult Science has its changeless traditions from pre-historic times.

“The rays of the eternal divine Mind…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Wednesday 24th July 2013 “Manas is a “principle,” and yet it is an “Entity” and individuality or Ego. He is a “God,” and yet he is doomed to an endless cycle of incarnations, for each of which he is made responsible, and for each of which he has to suffer. … “Try to imagine a “Spirit,” a celestial Being, whether we call … Continue reading “The rays of the eternal divine Mind…”

“The real incarnating and permanent Spiritual Ego…”

DAILY THEOSOPHY QUOTES Sunday 21st July 2013 “I. Atma, the “Higher Self,” is neither your Spirit nor mine, but like sunlight shines on all. It is the universally diffused “divine principle,” and is inseparable from its one and absolute Meta-Spirit, as the sunbeam is inseparable from sunlight. “II. Buddhi (the spiritual soul) is only its vehicle. Neither each separately, nor the two collectively, are of … Continue reading “The real incarnating and permanent Spiritual Ego…”
